To be honest, it sounds like an engine issue if it won’t start at all. Have you tried putting the choke on etc?

I haven’t had this bike before (I’m just going off mine) but have you got the choke turned on? That’s the only reason I can think of to why your bike won’t start. If the choke is turned on, the engine will obviously over heat.

Love the sig.....but it's a lot, lot better than ""I am going to make that corner easily, no need to slow down". *doesn't slow down at all* "F*ck - what happened? If only that wall/kerb/oncoming vehicle/ditch etc. etc. hadn't been there....". The story of my death Ah yes it is a lot better, but my bike struggles going sixty f it’s windy so when I’m riding there’s not a high Chance I’ll die

The Yamaha YBR 125 is a fantastic bike for a beginner. Its engine size is 124cc, so the max speed for this model of motorbike is about 55-65 mph (depending on reg plate, some won't have restrictions so speed will increase in that case). Its perfect for commuting, i ride mine to college 3 days a week, and it has never let me down. Insurance, tax and MOT is very cheap as you would expect. Fuel is also very cheap, the tank size for my model of bike 13 litres - which means it costs an average of £10-15 to fill the entire tank up. For those that maybe just want a simple 'pros and cons' review, you will find that below. Pros: - Perfect for beginners; it is very light, small in size and speed is restricted for those who have worrying parents - The fuel tank is 13 litres in total, meaning it costs an average of £10-15 to fill up completely - Insurance is very cheap (third party) i am currently paying an average £45 a month for mine - Servicing the bike is also very cheap, it doesn't require a lot of maintenance, providing you look after the bike in general and service it regularly Cons: - They can be stubborn in cold weather, and sometime require 10 minutes 'warm up time' *the bike has a choke which can be switched on to help with this* - Depending on what mileage you are doing and again, how old the bike is - fuel can disappear pretty quickly This review is completely based of my own experiences, so you have to be aware that my bike has been through some tough times. It has been involved in a fare few accidents and hasn't been serviced properly. Bare in mind that the conditions of the bike in the 'cons' will most likely improve or even disappear completely if you have a newer model, or a well looked after-ed bike. Happy Motorbike Shopping!

I mean, i am no longer classed as a beginner and i still do this do not worry my friend, you will get used to it, especially if you are commuting on the same roads.

Well, i have been riding for about a month and if it counts...i tipped off of my bike? I was riding in 50 mph winds, my bike stalled, shot forward and next thing i knew - i was on the floor.

Just simply remember that 70% of pressure should be on your front brake, and 30% on the back one. I have only been riding for a month and remembering this has been crucial for me to safely slow down from high speeds. If you put all of the pressure on one brake, you will soon be repairing it in no time (you may also experience steering wobbles - they aren't fun ) Once you have been riding for some time you will soon get the hang of it.

First of all...do not worry! I have only been riding for a month and i had my first ride out in the rain a week ago and honestly, you forget about the rain when your going at high speeds. All you have to do is relax - don't cling on for dear life! Relax your legs and posture and just think "I am not going to fall". Just remember that you are in control of the bike, and that you have every right on the road as everyone else - by that i mean take your time. If you are approaching a corner, allow yourself to slow down. Even take the entire ride slow until you are comfortable! Happy riding
